Mahatma
\Ma*hat"ma\, n. [Skr. mah[=a]tman, lit., great-souled,
wise.] (Theosophy)
One of a class of sages, or
“adepts,” reputed to have
knowledge and powers of a higher order than those of ordinary
men.
Note: The title was popularly applied to Mohandas Karamchand
Gandhi in tribute to his wisdom, though not implying
any supernatural powers; he is thus often referred to
as Mahatma Ghandi or The Mahatma. He was most noted for
his advocacy of non-violence in resisting oppression,
and played an important role in convincing Great
Britain to grant independence to India and Pakistan. --
Ma*hat"ma*ism, n.
[Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]
